This Sunday, we celebrate Pentecost. It will be 50 days since we celebrated the resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday and we mark this day in the calendar to honour what came next. You can read it for yourselves in Acts 2. It's incredible.
We're going to do a couple of special things together on Sunday. Our new series is called "You Are Not Alone" and in the coming weeks we're going to talk about what Jesus said about the Holy Spirit in John 14, 15, and 16. But to start things off, we're going to focus in on the amazing work of the Spirit in the world.
Dr. Jeremy Feller, our mission partner in Ethiopia, will be speaking, sharing stories of what he sees God doing in Africa and the Middle East. Our Guatemala Team will be bringing us a report of all that happened on their trip. I know that both of these things will encourage you. And, just for fun, we're serving Guatemalan and Ethiopian coffee in the lobby on Sunday!
I know that many of us don't come from a Pentecostal background and that Pentecost Sunday might be something new that you'd like to study more. Here are some resources to get you started and as always, don't hesitate to reach out to us with more questions or insights. We'd love to hear your story and share in your journey.
Be filled!
